Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

One normally gets a few seconds,
To make a first and a last impression.
And you say you have been given more than that?
Consider yourself extremely fortunate.
...

To say that greed and the affect of it,
Is not the main ingredient...
That is the reason,
Causing people the world over...
...

Seek!
And with a reaching...
Be YOU!
Be 'all' that you wish.
...

Truth is making its presence felt.
And there are so many,
Who have never dealt with it before.
Believing it to be destructible.
...

What makes you think you know so much?

'Oh,
Trust me I don't.
...

Do you mind repeating what you just said?

'Of course not.
What is it that you wish to be repeated? '
...

I awakened today,
With yesterday on my mind.
And the day before.,
Along with those days before that...
...

Lost!
Those people spreading evil,
Are lost!
And people feeding deceit,
...

I knew too well,
What my life had been like.
And that loneliness no one could touch.
I was deeply mentally scarred and troubled.
...

Somebody...
Knocks,
On my door...
And wanting some attention.
...
